Reading for me is totally bonkers right now - I had cornea replacement
surgery in one eye in July and was SUPPOSED to have the second done in
August but the doc has twice now postponed it as he didn't feel my
first eye had healed sufficiently. (I had hoped to be all done by my
birthday in September but at this rate I'll be lucky to have both done
by Christmas)

Imagine if you will what it's like to have your two eyes with
different "prescriptions" - that's me right now! In addition my left
eye (the one that was operated on) is seeing colors more intensely
which makes dressing in the morning "interesting" since the blues and
reds in particular seem more intense.

(Me healing slower is not all that shocking since I'm both diabetic
and 65+)
